    john m liked post by grandpamac On thread : Changing a Remmington 700 from .270 to .308
    Greetings, I assume that the .270 is a bolt action so what about one of those neat little Bergara single shots in .308. Even new they are around the cost of a rebarrel plus they break down and go in...

    Greetings Blackfern and Micky Duck, That is pretty good advice from Micky, especially for a bush rifle. For some handloaders the journey of developing a load is just as (or more) important as the...

    Greetings, The two rounds have different magazine lengths so you could possibly run into feeding problems with the .308. It would be better to sell the .270 and buy a .308 or convert the .270 to...

    BSA270 liked post by grandpamac On thread : Reload 308 using magnum LRP 2208 powder vs standard LRP 2206H
    Greetings, AR2208 is easy to ignite, especially with LRP in a .308 case. Magnum primers give no advantage and possibly less than that. My go to powder in the .308 is AR2206H and has been for some...

    Greetings again Blackfern, Makros has made some very good points echoed by Puffin. One three shot group tells you little if anything about the accuracy of a particular so I prefer to test loads for...

    Greetings Blackfern, You certainly have done your homework. I recently loaded 42.5 grains of AR2208 behind the 140 grain Remington Corelokt which is below max in the Hodgdon data for the 139 grain...

    Greetings All, I think the first thing to do in dealing with sizing problems is to understand what the problem is. Nine times out of ten a tight case is due to the case not having been sized enough....
